Panda diplomacy revisited
The United States and stability in the Taiwan Strait
The changing dynamics of the Taiwan Strait necessitate a review of the United States’ “One China” policy. For more than four decades, this policy—anchored in the Taiwan Relations Act, the Six Assurances, and the three Joint Communiqués—has allowed Washington to maintain unofficial ties with Taipei. But China’s growing economic power, increasing military capabilities, and mounting pressure on Taiwan pose major challenges to US security commitments…
Forging a New Security Order in Eurasia
Beijing played a critical role in establishing the SCO in the aftermath of the break of the former Soviet Union in response to the emerging non-traditional security challenges. Overtime, the SCO has evolved into a regional institution critical to China’s growing interests in Central Asia/Eurasia and increasingly, Beijing seeks to influence and shape the organization in support of its institutional balancing strategy—inclusive in soliciting Russia…
China's private security companies and the protection of Chinese economic interests abroad
China’s private security companies (PSCs) have become increasingly active actors in meeting the growing demands of Chinese companies operating in high-risk foreign environments for protection and security of both their assets and employees. While growing rapidly in recent decades, Chinese PSCs are relatively new in providing overseas services, remain constrained by lack of well-trained and fully-equipped personnel, and operate under legal uncerta…
China’s Belt and Road Initiative in South Asia and the Indian Response
China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is an ambitious project aiming to transform the economic landscape along its route in the areas of trade, investment, and energy supplies. It makes as its focal point the connectivity between China and Eurasia, South Asia, and the Indian Ocean. South Asia’s location presents China with significant strategic opportunities as Beijing seeks to expand its economic presence in the subcontinent by providing resour…
Beijing’s institutional-balancing strategies
China has in recent years been actively engaged in multilateral diplomacy. From the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia to the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the One Belt, One Road initiative, Beijing is pursuing strategies and promoting norms that are viewed as concerted efforts by China to challenge some of the key institutional arrangements of the existing inter…
Sino–Indian Economic Ties since 1988
This article takes stock of the evolution of bilateral economic ties between China and India since the early 1990s. It analyses the factors that have contributed to the expansion of this important aspect of their relationship, but also highlights the obstacles, in particular the politico-strategic variables, to further expansion of economic ties, including investments. It argues that while both Beijing and New Delhi recognise the importance of tr…
Averting US-China conflict in the Asia-Pacific
The rise of China both presents challenges and offers opportunities for Sino-US relations, transforming the Asia-Pacific region. Washington and Beijing have common interests and have cooperated on a range of global and regional issues, from climate change to nuclear non-proliferation. But, at the same time, China's more assertive foreign policy and growing military buildup in the region are perceived as direct challenges to the primacy and stayin…
Chinese hegemony
Discussions of Imperial China's international relations during periods of its hegemony in east Asia typically draw three distinct conclusions: that China exercised benign hegemony and maintained Chinese world order through the tributary system; that Chinese cultural realism or strategic culture reflected a view of the world as insecure and threatening, and hence an inclination for offensive rather than defensive posture towards its neighbours; an…
China's Role in Establishing and Building the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)
In June 2001, China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan established the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). While the immediate focus of the organization was to combat the so-called 'three evils'—ethnic separatism, religious extremism, and international terrorism—the SCO's long-term viability and effectiveness in promoting regional stability and economic development depend on how member states build up common identity…
Chinese Nationalism and Sino–Japanese Relations
Contemporary Chinese nationalism has its roots in the country's nation‐building and identity‐forming movements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that sought to establish China's place in the community of nations. Today, nationalism in China can be characterized as falling into two major categories. On the one hand, there is nationalism embedded in patriotism with great pride in China's civilization, major achievements, and confidence in t…

Sino-US Military Relations Since Tiananmen

China ́s Defence Modernization
Recent discussions of post-Cold War Asia-Pacific security have focused on China's defence modernization as constituting major source of regional instability. It has been suggested that China's military build-up might upset the region's strategic balance, touch ing off an arms race, and increasing the likelihood of force being used to resolve territorial disputes over the Spratly Islands. This article argues that alarm about the threat tends to ov…
